CNN’s Saturday filled with following Barack Obama’s train trip to the Inauguration was also filled with Obama praise. At one juncture, CNN couldn’t help but metaphorically merge Barack Obama with the exhilarating news of the US Airways pilot who landed his plane in the Hudson River without losing a single passenger.

A few minutes after 2 pm Eastern time, anchorman Wolf Blitzer recalled "Soledad [O’Brien] and I were talking about this earlier and she was saying metaphorically in some ways, the pilot of that airplane is very much like Barack Obama -- that he got the plane down safely, but everybody else had to join together to get out of the plane and pull together to get through that adversity. I thought that was an interesting metaphor.

Same here. It's all so creepy. Yesterday, I kept checking the news, and even FoxNews was sickening.

I saw that Fox started covering the inauguration yesterday morning at which point I turned if off. I won't be watching anything related to it. Talk about overkill. It will be interesting to see the Fox News ratings since half the country won't be watching.

Thank god for football today but Im sure the winning quarterback’s will be compared to the ONE too!

Comparing Obama to the pilot is ridiculous. Obama couldn't steer the Dumbo ride at Disney let alone land a plane on water. Although I hear he can walk on water.

Every hype line is a promise he will not fulfill. The media will turn on his sooner rather than later and the scandals are already oozing out.

Here's hope'n

I’d suggest that Soledad is very much like a cheap whore. I’m not saying she is, just very much like.

Paging Dan Rather...... Bush can fly a plane. Will you be doing a story on Obama's lack of military service?

An obama picture will be required for each house

Lefties like this Soledad nitwit are probably setting up their 0bama shrines even as I type.

Wouldn't surprise me at this point if they awarded Messiah Zero an honorary Congressional Medal of Honor.

"I’m tempted to go and ask for the punch/kool-aid...take a sip, put it down and exclaim, “nope...I’m still immune thank the good LORD...GOOD LUCK!!!!” and walk out."

Please, please take pictures. It could be the modern day equivalent of Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death." The moment should be preserved for posterity.

“The word “hero” is now being tossed around like the words “superstar” and “diva” have been. Sooner or later, everybody becomes one, resulting in the words completely losing their original meaning.”

Last night, a guest on FoxNews said that all pilots are heros whether they have been involved in an accident or not.
